Hydraulic Power Units

Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs) are versatile and efficient machines that can deliver hydraulic power to various tools and equipment. They use pressurized fluid to transmit force and motion, which can be controlled precisely and safely. Hydraulic power units can operate in harsh environments and withstand high temperatures and pressures. They are also easy to maintain and repair, as they have fewer moving parts than other types of power sources. Hydraulic power units are ideal for applications that require high torque, speed, or force, such as construction, mining, drilling, lifting, or cutting.

Fast Flow offers a wide variety of hydraulic power units in a range of hydraulic output and circuit configurations. Our units can put out as little as 25HP or as much as 700HP. Lightweight, portable units are available as well as larger units for big jobs. Our expert team of technical salesmen have extensive experience with the best practices for tough jobs and will work with you to ensure you get the right unit for the task at hand. Whatever your requirements, Fast Flow can provide.

Power

An engine or motor provides motion
and powers the fluid through diesel or electrical.

Pump

The pump takes this energy
and turns it into fluid power.

Flow & PSI
Control

Flow and Pressure are controlled by hydraulic valves.

Power Consumed

Fluid Power is turned into work. 

Filtration

Fluid is cleaned by filtration to ensure a long equipment life.

Cooling

To avoid overheating,
the fluid goes through
a cooling system.

Return to
Reservoir

Now clean & cooled, the fluid flows back to the tank, ready to be pumped again.

Benefits of Hydraulic Power Units

Industrial Hydraulic Power Units transfer the engine’s mechanical energy into the fluid power required to power Fast Flow hydraulic submersible pumps. Fast Flow’s standard line of hydraulic power units are designed to produce smooth, steady hydraulic flow while having the reserve ability to deliver more power when needed. In addition, every standard Fast Flow hydraulic power unit is designed to meet a 100% duty cycle; there is no substitute for difficult pumping. This duty cycle allows Fast Flow hydraulic power units and Fast Flow Pumps to run all day – every day.  
 
Fast Flow’s fluid power systems power pumps and much more. Hydraulic power units are used in numerous industries for various applications. Fast Flow Hydraulic power units can be configured to operate winches, allowing the customer to extend and retract with varying loads. Portable machine equipment such as milling machines, surfacing units, and augers can be powered by Fast Flow hydraulic power units. Fast Flow HPUs can also fit natural resource handling equipment such as drills, conveyors, and dredging equipment to mobile hydraulic power.
 
Hydraulic power units are designed to provide maximum power density when weight or size makes a difference. The average hydraulic motor has 13 times the power density of a similar size electric motor. This allows maximum power to be delivered with reduced system weight or a minimal footprint. For some applications, there is no replacement for hydraulic power. An example is in areas where electric service is limited, or the need for power outstrips what is available, Fast Flow Hydraulic power units can be the right engineered solution to get the job done.
